I came across this interesting article the other day about the Ethereum 'flash crash' that took place on Coinbase back in June of this year, and how Coinbase is now being investigated by the CFTC for their margin trading service (now discontinued):

I'm wondering if anyone here was impacted by this and how something like this was even possible? It didn't seem to affect the price much at all considering it apparently jumped right back up to the $300 mark but it makes me wonder whether or not something similar can happen to other exchanges?

Ethereum is one of the most valuable coin in crypto currency. They have strong team and magnificent idea for survive in crypto world any moment. Ethereum market value and popularity increase day by day. So there is no doubt ETH have good future.

After launch smart contract Most of ICO project coming form ethereum platform. Maximum ICO project come form ethereum Platform. Ethereum have strong development team they will update every time their blockchain. Ethereum project future good and going log time.

In my opinion Ethereum is very good coin and great project and this altcoin can be bigger than Bitcoin in the future because their blockchain network used many other project who development star up and fintech. Wil be more demand come in ETH because also the founder Vitalik Buterin and their team are jenius and very active to promote about blockchain and technology of Ethereum.

Buy ETH, forget that you bought, remember it after long time, enjoy being rich.

Agree, ethereum is my second coin, I'm sure this year's success will be repeated again in 2018, I noticed the ethereum has been used for more than 75 other coins, and of course the use of ethereum is getting bigger.

I believe in good future of ETH: ETH has strong and active community, great roadmap, relatively big trading volume. Even at current time it has platform with lots of advantages over other most popular coins. So it at least should be considered to hold.

Yup, correct.

Holding bitcoin and not holding ETH would be the worst decision.

ETH is still under-valued, we can see it being close to at least a half of bitcoin in coming years.

Hi everyone, I've been around for a while now.. I've seen a lot of posts positive and negative about Ethereum.

At the moment I am holding Bitcoins, but I have invested in some Ether as well.

Now I am wondering, what are legitimate concerns about Ether (except for IPO, as I've already read this in a lot of posts).

So can anyone bring real other issues to the table, to enlighten me (and maybe a lot of other readers?)

Thanks!

There is no better altcoin to trade than ethereum. Ethereum is just the prefect altcoin for I have almost never lost 90% of my trades while trading ethereum . If you are trading I strongly suggest you try it ether just has so many support and resistance which is good for traders.

Well I remember I faced a pretty big loss from Ethereum during trading though.

Bought it at around 0.09 BTC, but since then, still holding it. I faced a loss, but since then, I've considered it as a long-term investment. Now its going to stay up in my wallet for few years, and by then, I expect a good return.

Been in Crypto for almost half a year, and I never own any ETH to be honest! Besides, some good ERC-20 token under Ethereum like PAY (Tenx), KNC (Kyber), BAT (Basic Attention Token), MTL (Metal), ZRX (0x Blockchain Exchange), SNT (Status Network Token), ADT (AdToken), NET (Nimiq); ---- the rest you can stay away!

These are all potential coins that are capable of running their own blockchain one day! Like QTUM, now on their own MAINNET and will no longer be ERC-20 token soon!

my view is positive toward ethereum because reason is after btc only ethereum gave good and stable growth in market if we see future in crypto then ethereum will also set up good mail stone so my view we can invest

Wondering how someone can ask question like this about beloved ethereum alt ;-)

Off course ethereum is very good investment as long as all the ICO run on the smart contracts provided by ethereum blockchain. The more they are there the more is the investment into ether in the first world. Just imagine how much market capitalisation ether will gain in next two to three years if this continues and people keep buying more ethereum ever other day. Think about it in long term investment because it resides with all the potential as compared to other altcoin in the market which are just having status of ticker for particular ICO and nothing much. At least it is better to invest in ether because it control the investment if these ICO's.

I think ethereum is one of those coins which are sure to grow in future as it is one of the most popular crypto currency available in the market right now. It is currently the most used platform for ICOs and new projects. It has a really strong development team. I think the price of ethereum will cross the 1000$ mark within an year or so and investment in ethereum can help you earn high returns.

Ethereum not still under-valued, this coin had pumped to $400 and reached to highest in a short time, if you compare the percent grow of Ethereum to Bitcoin from 2016 till highest price of this year, the winner will be Ethereum, not is Bitcoin.
